looks good, pity it's on the otherside of the planet. I thought it might need special rods but no -
The DHC 2000 uses standard inexpensive TIG filler rods available at most welding outlets, or you can use a slither of the material being welded if
feasible
A lot cheaper than a tig set

in essence it's a oxy torch but with a very small and gentle flame unlike the jet blast of a normal torch, it's also very accurately
mixing the gas so no excess oxygen

I remember seeing one of these at a car show about 20 odd years ago. After the show (pre internet days) couldnt find where to buy one.
It is a great tool (not sure its a swap for a MIG/TIG)
It makes cuts in thin metal without distortion .
It slices through thick metal.
No slag.

They rave about the Henrob torch on www.metalmeet.com
Apparently, in the USA, it's the only tool to gas weld with.

It keeps cropping up every few months. According to tinman tech it's just an overweight gas torch and you are better of with a Meco Midget and a
standard torch for half the price. You've still got to rent two bottles to use it.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Yes that's what I heard from a chap in Canada. He says we have the best torch, the BOC Saffire Light. That's what I use and I am very
satisfied with it.
I would ask 907s advice here but I suspect that what we are seeing is a fairly ordinary torch operated by a very talented welder.
